Tips and Conclusion

For an alternative twist, consider adding a layer of lemon curd between the cupcake and the frosting. This addition not only enhances the tartness but also adds a delightful surprise when biting into the cupcake. If you have any leftover frosting, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply rewhip it before using.
